1000 Season Chasing Stars

CHAPTER 52

Luki smiled back. He knew he was dealing with a person who could not be underestimated. Had Niko Fareli been his business opponent, Luki would have surely come up with an exciting new challenge. Things that he had not felt for a long time, but working with Niko was also a challenge. Luki felt that there was still another reason why Niko wanted to cooperate with her. It doesn't feel that easy that Niko can change her attitude. Joining Rafael Group or not, Niko has been successful. He doesn't need fame anymore. Luki decided not to know the reason today. There's still another time.

“I will submit his cooperation proposal next week,” Luki said.

Laura gets off papa's private car in front of Luki's apartment. Today is her parents' wedding anniversary. He came to pick Luki up for dinner together at their parents' house. Laura just went shopping. Papa's private driver will pick up papa at his office then return to pick up Laura and Luki at the apartment.

Laura walks into an apartment restaurant, where Luki promises to wait for her. Laura looked at Luki. But he also sees Niko with him. After desperately trying to avoid Niko, he meets her again. Laura was about to leave the restaurant, but Luki caught up with her.

“Laura!” Luki.

Niko turned around and looked at Laura. She smiles. Laura must not have expected Luki to be with him. As usual, seeing Laura can ease her longing after yesterday not meeting her.

“Sit.” Luki pointed to the seat beside her.

“I just talked to Niko about business cooperation. I hope you don't mind.”

Laura sat down slowly. “Of course not.”

“I already ordered coffee for you,” Luki said as she waved at one of the maids in front of them.

Niko looked at Laura sharply. Laura avoided Niko's gaze. Laura forgets that Luki doesn't know about her dislike of coffee. After the incident at the hospital when Luki made coffee for him. Luki never made any more coffee for him. And Laura always orders a drink first before Luki orders it for her.

A cup of coffee arrived in front of Laura. His hands hesitated to reach for the cup. He couldn't possibly be straightforward with Luki right now. Especially in front of Niko

“You didn't drink your coffee?” ask Luki wonder

Laura tried to smile. “I'll drink it when it's cooler.”

Hp Luki reads. Luki picked up her phone. After apologizing to Niko and Laura, he walked out of the restaurant. Laura looked down at her coffee.

“He didn't know you didn't like drinking coffee,” Niko said later. “You pretended not to know me. What else are you hiding from him?”

Laura looked at Niko sharply. “Not your business. It doesn't matter if I like coffee or not. If the person I like gives it to me, it doesn't matter, does it?”

Niko did not answer.

Laura raised her fingers and tried to touch the handle of her cup slowly. When her hand was about to touch the cup, another hand had already taken it from Laura's hand.

Laura sees Niko drinking the coffee in her cup. Then when it's done. Niko returned the cup to Laura's front.

“No need,” Laura replied quickly. “I'm not thirsty anymore.”

Laura's answer made Luki even more confused. Slowly, unbeknownst to the two, he looked at Niko, then back at Laura. Luki saw Niko staring at Laura with a look full of sadness. *(Why is Niko staring at Laura like that?) ask Luki inwardly. *(Laura also seemed to avoid Niko's gaze. Bizarrely. They met a few times, though.Or.).*

“Niko,” said Luki distract, “you never told me how you got to know Julien Bardeux.”

Niko removed her gaze from Laura and looked at Luki, her smile expanding slowly. “A girl waited hours to submit my draft results on Julien.”

“Oh, really?” Luki seems interested in Niko's story. “She must be a special girl.”

Niko looked at Laura. “Yes. She is indeed a special girl.” Laura looked up slowly and looked back at Niko. “Interesting news.” He decided to play his purapine role. “Maybe someday I can meet him.”

Niko laughed short. “I'm sure you can meet him.”

Luki's phone rang. Papa's private car has arrived in front of the apartment. Laura breathed a sigh of relief. He doesn't know how much longer to pretend he doesn't know Niko.

“Papa is already in front of the apartment,” Luki said to Laura. “Sorry, we have to go first. Next time we talk again.”

Niko stood up to take Laura and Luki away. From inside the restaurant he saw a middle-aged man in black clothes smiling at Laura, and hugging her. Niko had seen the picture of the man in a business newspaper a few days ago. Charles Rafael.Dad Luki. Laura's relationship with Charles Rafael seems to be very good. Niko felt a little jealous. Niko sees Laura and Luki and Charles Rafael riding in a black car.

Niko took the elevator to her apartment. It seems that more and more days Laura is getting better at hiding her feelings. Niko changes her clothes and picks up her tennis racket. For the next hour he unceasingly hit a tennis ball coming out of the throwing machine.

Breathing gasps. His body was full of sweat. The jealousy in his heart began to subside. She now realizes that she not only likes Laura, but also loves her.

Niko hits the last ball coming out of the engine with all her might. *(It's over)*Niko took her towel and walked out of her apartment tennis court.

LUKI noticed her family eating together with a happy feeling. He wanted to stay in this feeling forever. I saw my mom and dad laughing happily. Saw Laura smiling because of one of the jokes papa told me. But there was one problem that stuck his heart out. Niko Fareli's. Luki has a strong feeling that Niko already knew Laura before her. When recalling Laura and Niko's first meeting at the jewelry store, Laura was a little upset. Luki grows suspicious when Laura lets Niko drink coffee from her cup. Laura did not tell him that.

While Laura was taking a bath, Luki approached the brrada mama in the kitchen washing dishes.

“Mama no need to wash dishes. Just let one of the helpers do it,” said Luki.

Mom laughed at Luki. “It looks like mama can't stop the old habit. My mom is used to doing it. It feels strange that someone else is working on it. Mom is happy to do this anyway. Wash family dishes after meals. Tastes fun.”
